Two great events happening in late September in Galtür & Ischgl

This weekend (19 Sept) is the Almabtrieb in Ischgl when the local farmers celebrate the end of the cattle grazing season in the higher meadows. It’s one of those truly authentic customs which the Austrians still cling to as part of their proud farming and rural heritage.

Go along to see farmers and shepherds in all their Tirolean finery as well as their highly decorated cows! Great atmosphere.

Next weekend (26 Sept) is the Alpine Cheese Olympics in Galtür. Lovers of Bergkäse and other creations from over 100 cheesemakers from Austria, Germany, South Tyrol and Switzerland can sample treats and enjoy this unique alpine event.
